In his book "The Heart of a Champion," Bob Richards tells the story of Olympic champion Charley Paddock. While speaking before a group of students in Cleveland, Ohio, Paddock challenged the audience to THINK BIG: "If you think you can, you can," he coached. "If you believe a thing strongly enough, it can come to pass in your life!" Before Paddock concluded his remarks, he lifted his hand and said, "Who knows, there may be an Olympic champion sitting among us."
